Abstract
This article discusses the attitude of cancer patients to death in terms of the temporal perspective and the level of religiosity. An important result of this study was that various parameters of a temporal perspective, reflecting the ability for prognostic competence, performing an adaptive function, programming future constructive behavior and being a marker of psychological health, can serve as indicators of an adequate experience of the fear of death. It is revealed that religiosity does not reduce the fear of death, but may affect the attitude towards death.
